Type IIb fast-twitch myofibers, known for their rapid contraction speed, are plentiful in small mammals but have largely ...

A DISTINCTIVE feature of muscular contraction is the dependence of the contractile force on the contraction velocity. For steady contractions, at a given length of the muscle, the interaction between ...

Brian Glancy, a senior investigator in the Muscle Energetics Laboratory, researches how mitochondrial and contractile networks are optimized within muscle cells to maintain energy balance.

MICKLETON, N.J. (WPVI) -- Nearly everyone gets a muscle cramp from time to time. When muscle contractions won't stop and can't be controlled, that's called dystonia. A South Jersey man is now sharing ...

Time under contraction is not directly measured in a typical weight training program. Most people really don't even think about the number of seconds a given muscle is forced to work. Indirectly, ...

Increasing muscle temperature through warm-ups enhances contractile function and power, but maximum force remains unchanged, ...
